I doubt they will have the authority to get those stories published though. But they might get encouraged to post and discuss those somewhere else on Internet....
There should be a compilation of "Scientific history" of a sort (which is maintained by Scientific community), where only those discoveries are saved which disprove a previous scientific fact, while proving a so called crazy theory. I just can't get around the stubbornness of most scientists when it comes to theories, ideas and beliefs which are not in-line with current mainstream Science.
I hope they get some courage and post even the embarrassing results and experiments. Will remove the illusion that "Scientists" and "stupidity" can't appear in one sentence.
What happened to extensive testing and user feedback periods of electronic equipment? You would expect stuff like this from Microsoft, but now Google too?
Seems to me like the 2012 fuss played a bit of a role in this decision. Last I remember, they were meant to do this upgrade/maintenance during late 2010-2011, which meant it would have been functional in 2012.
But then again, they have more reasons to be over-cautious considering LHC's history. Only if the scientists operating it were a bit younger dare devils, ahem ahem.
Didn't they consider that this will indirectly promote their works to thousands of people?
The proportion of people who would go to a library to read about something is getting increasingly small as far as I know. Any form of exposure on Internet will be beneficial to the authors in one form or another.
This might have been true if were being really optimistic and assuming that there was Intelligent life within 100 LY of our solar system.
I really hope and speculate that whatever Extraterrestrials might be trying to listen to us, or someone else for that matter, they will be using something a bit more advanced that our latest technology and form of communication.
Since most American and a lot of International Electronics Corporations now have some, or all production in China, you wouldn't be going all China-free that easily.
And considering the new restrictions on exports of REMs out of China, it is going to be the preferable choice for most Companies in the coming years as well.
The point about "has" intended for "Group of cryptographers" does makes sense, but I like the British vs US English possibility as well, because I learnt British English.
Though this is the first time I am running into UK vs US difference other than the likes of "colour vs color". I'll have to research more into it.
How about store the files on a Netbook or even a low-end Laptop, with backups on DVD including a live Linux distro. That way you only have to worry about electricity being available in 20 years, which is a safe bet as far as I see it. Though the this won't be so much as a time "capsule" than a bag, and will be heavy on the pocket too.
This looks more like a scheme to get some business advantages rather than a traditional roadmap.
Hopefully alternative computing models like Photonic computers, Quantum computers and DNA computers will be mature enough to come to normal user before Intel needs to reach 1-figure fab process. It'll be surprising if Intel doesn't get heavily involved in R&D of those technologies in the next 4+ years.
The accuracy is pretty impressive and will definitely get adopted in future robots, though the speed is a bit scary. At least you shouldn't come within its range in the hope that it will follow the three Laws of Robotics.
That is indeed Facebook's fault. At the very least, applications being used by your friends should only be allowed to access the information which has been set to be visible to everyone.
I was partially under the impression that this was already the case.
When users click "Allow X App to access my profile" for the most stupid of polls and quiz applications, I don't think Facebook is to be blamed.
Once again, Internet is most insecure for people who don't care about protecting their privacy, and the rest know when and how to protect themselves.

How about this for an idea:

I don't think so. This Journal will not publish any results that were expected

Justice Cowdroy said that the 'mere provision of access to internet is not the means to infringement'
We desperately need more lawmakers and Judges like this. And a few more wise folks who see beyond the smoke of copyright infringement fiasco.
But then again, dreams like these seldom become reality in today's world.

Its stuff like this that makes people question even reliable and accurate information on Internet.

I would certainly hope so. But at the very least it will take a year to get these 25nm ones in the market.

Seems like after that musician wi-fi incident, he is just trying his luck.
If the suing culture continues in America like this, it won't be long before someone sues their parents for not being 6-feet tall.

Thanks for clarifying that. My bad for acting like a debugger and stopping at the first wrongly identified mistake.
Wait a minute, does that mean Facebook groups like "I just study before the exam day.." are not meant as a joke?
Shouldn't this be "have"?. I admit English is not my first language, but I think I remember those 3rd grade chapters.

Or ask it to kill a mosquito. If everything goes to plan, it should break enough of itself to be safe for close encounter.
